230 APRIL. 



better than any other contrivance. The seed is de- 

 posited to the desired depth, by pressing on or 

 weighting the drill. x If it be half an inch deep it 

 is sufficient. As soon as the plants appear dis- 

 tinctly above ground, if a surge of soot be drilled 

 upon them, to the amount of 10 or 12 bushels an 

 acre, it is a great security against the fly. One 

 hopper and one round of Cook's cups, but larger, 

 fixed to such a frame as that of the Northumber- 

 land drill, will effect it simply and cheaply. This 

 is all that is necessary to be done in the month of 

 April, and is the perfection of the* cabbage hus- 

 bandry. 



WATER FURROWING. 



This is a work that should be well performed 

 on the new-sown lands, as soon as the tillage is 

 finished. Very small savings in the omission of 

 this work will be attended with certain and great 

 losses. 



TURNIP FALLOW. 



The fields intended for turnips should be scuffled 

 in this month, and should remain a short time in 

 that state, and afterwards have harrovvings enough 

 to make all the seeds of weeds'grow, that the til- 

 lage in the succeeding month may destroy them. 



WOODS. 



All work in woods should now be over, or da- 

 mage will ensue from carting and from cattle. Good 



husband -
